... had always thought that atoms never changed and that they were the unbreakable basic building blocks of all matter in the universe. Albert Einstein added even more uncertainty when he introduced his theory of relativity. It stated that matter could be converted into energy and back again, just as water can be converted into a solid and back again. Another physicist by the name ... of Ernest Rutherford showed that individual atoms could be broken down and split into even smaller, subatomic particles ... and light, and not always concrete shapes. Expressionism was similar, and tried to c...

... was struggling, trying to find an explanation for the behavior of optical spectrums emitted by atoms. When white light is sent through a spectrum, each color corresponds to a different band of frequencies. If the atom if one element are stimulated by heat or high voltage they will emit not an entire spectrum of radiation but only certain colored lines corresponding to certain definite ... frequencies of light characteristic of that element. One year later, Heisenberg presented his atomic "core ... separate U-235. Heisenberg wrote two papers for each subject. Both papers regarding separa...
